EGB340 Design and Practice

This is an advanced unit which aims to extend your design skills, professional skills and technical knowledge in the context of teamwork on a challenging project. Design communication skills will be developed through teamwork, regular presentation, written reports and studio-style critique. Professional skills developed include those in problem exploration, solution generation, problem scoping, teamwork, time management, flexible problem solving, critical thinking, information retrieval, report writing and presentation. This unit plays an important role in developing many professional skills by approaching problems from a user centred design methodology. EGB340 is situated after the first and second year electrical design units, and prepares you for your final year honours project.
